Saunas

While in Kuusamo, we invite you to discover what the authentic Finnish sauna is all about! Though other cultures, e.g. in the Northern and Eastern Europe, have practised this bathing and relaxation ritual for thousands of years, it is the Finns who have taken the sauna and its traditions the furthest. Today, the sauna continues to be an elemental aspect of Finnish culture, and the word sauna remains the most common loan word that has been borrowed from Finnish into other languages. Our wilderness lodges offer also a true sauna experience. Relax in a traditional log sauna, ice sauna or try a tent sauna.
